    There’s only one movie about what I do, and it’s quite misleading. Most machinists actually do sleep.

    Shin Godzilla. The atmosphere in the scientists’ room and their attitudes when one of them makes a breakthrough are almost identical to the most intense days at my job.

    I’ve never seen (or heard of) a movie that tries to depict what an XRay tech does.

    Anyone have suggestions?

          It’s a stretch but Mark Duplass’ character, Phil, is a scientist and researcher for a company that did imaging research before creating/discovering the doorway into the Backrooms. I’d like to think that at one point of his career he was an x-ray tech of some sort.

          So kinda, sorta, maybe a movie about a x-ray tech as I know nothing but the bare minimum about what x-ray techs do so I’d like to believe they explore weird parallel dimensional limbo spaces.

    Everything Everywhere All at Once i wouldn’t say that. I never got a buttplug trophy, or any trophy.

    Quality Assurance

    Least accurate? Grandma’s Boy

    Most accurate? Westworld (the show)

    Hear me out. West World is a qa environment to test if a robot is actually a copy of a person. Grandma’s Boy is Sandler-slop set in a world without version control.
